"If
you're interested in writing short stories, it's really important to
read them - even if you don't like them all, you can learn an enormous
amount. The New Writer contains a wide range of contemporary fiction,
both British and International, and is a unique guide to what's happening
on the literary scene."
Louise Doughty, author of A Novel in a Year, Whatever You
Love, Stone Cradle
"I've
subscribed to The New Writer from the very first issue. Back then,
I was just starting out as a writer myself and would scan it for competitions
I could enter, look enviously at the short stories chosen for publication
there, while mine were still thumping depressingly back onto the doormat,
and smile at the amusing editorials. Today, as a published novelist
and journalist, I still enjoy its insights and the high standard of
writing. It's quirky, clever, original and accessible. What
more do you want?"
Jane Wenham-Jones, author of Wannabe a Writer?, Perfect
Alibis, One Glass is Never Enough
"The New Writer is successful thanks to the quality of their advice, their stories, their poems. It just seems to get on with things, quietly, doing what it says on the tin very well, and has been a great resource for thousands of writers over the years." Vanessa Gebbie, author of Words from a Glass Bubble and editor of Short Circuit: A Guide to the Art of the Short Story.
“There’s
been the welcome thud of The New Writer’s arrival on our doormat for
so long, followed by my absorption of its varied and stimulating contents,
that it’s felt like another member of the family. Often more pleasurable,
I have to say!"
Sally Spedding, author of Prey Silence, Strangers Waiting, Wringland
